Hey guys it's Thomas from Baton Rouge Guitars and today I'm going to show you
our new pickup system the BR-2P.
Today I would like to introduce you into our new pickup system, the BR-2P. BR
obviously stands for Baton Rouge Guitars. The two in this case stands for the 2way
pickup system we built and the P is for percussive. Since we have a lot of
percussive fingerstyle guitarist playing our Baton Rouge instruments we decided
to create a 2-way pickup system that allows you to combine the natural sound
of an acoustic guitar, together with the percussive possibilities that an
acoustic guitar body gives you. And that's the reason why we came together
with the guys of Shadow electronics to create a pickup system, that allows you
to improve your fingerstyle sound. But let me just shortly show you how the
BR-2P works. It basically consists of three parts the first one is this one this is
the shadow preamp system which you might already know from many Baton Rouge
Guitars there is only a little difference in the order of controls we
built in. Second one is this tiny cute little thing here and if it gets ... there
we go: This is the Shadow HD Nano Flex bridge
pickup and this gives you the well-known natural sound of Shadow acoustic guitar
pickups. And third one is the tap pickup this one here. There we go. This is
the Nano Mag pickup. An active nano Mag pickup which is installed in the body of
the guitar. So with this pickup here you will not influence the natural sound of
the bridge pickup. It is just influencing so much that you get a little bit more
of the natural reverb that a guitar body gives you anyway. So let me just shortly
explain how the pickup system works and which possibilities you have here on the
preamp module. First thing is the volume control.
Here you can control the volume, this is actually self-explanatory; if you put
this on the minus side you can just play quiet or put down the volume and you put
up the volume if you go to the plus side. More important actually are those two
tone controls with this two controls you can control both pickups separately. You
have the TapEQ and on the other side the FlexEQ. Tap stands for the
percussive pickup and the Flex in this case stands for the bridge pickup you
have here which is the natural sounding pickup. With these controls you can
control the sound of both pickups separately which is very cool actually.
Let me just shortly explain how this work. Starting from the middle going to
the left here this way you leave the treble where it is but you enchance the
bass. Starting from the middle going to the right side you leave the bass where
it is but you enchance the treble. This works the same way for both pickups,
you can just use the tone control here. Next one is the blend control. This one
gives you the possibility to mix up both pickups, the bridge and the percussive
pickup. We actually recommend to not leave it on the middle, which would give
you a 50/50 percentage of both pickups, we actually recommend to put it
somewhere in between 12:00 and 3:00 o'clock. Which gives you a little bit
more of the natural sound of the bridge pickup and a little less of the
percussive pickup but as we find it gives you the best quality sound out of
this two-way pickup system. So just leave it somewhere in between 12:00 and 3:00
o'clock. But as it always is, maybe you should also try it on your own
and find your own way and find the best for you how this pickup system could
sound. One last special thing is the two possibilities to plugin your guitar. You
have on one side here a normal mono check and the other one here is the
possibility for you to play your guitar in a stereo way. So if you plug in the
guitar here you can just play it normally with all the things that I
explained you here on the module. If you would like to get a separate channel for
your percussive pickup, then you have the possibility to use the second check. And
this one gives you the possibility to use separate effects, maybe some more
reverb, or a chorus or whatever without changing the natural sound of the bridge
pickup. So this is a very cool thing which you don't have to use, but if you
want to go a little bit further with your percussive sound, then you can use
this and it will give you a chance to do a lot of more percussive then you are
able with playing just a mono sound. So that's basically it, this is the Baton
Rouge AR11C/ACE with the BR-2P 2-way pickup system. It's a new pickup
system we developed together with the guys from Shadow electronics if you have
